THEFA Mission Statement
We, the Texas Home Educators Freedom Alliance (THEFA), are parents practicing liberty in rearing and educating our children in accordance with our personal, private family values and goals.
Liberty cannot be granted by others (or it would not be liberty). Liberty is practiced by individuals acting through voluntary and private association.
We neither require nor seek approval and/or 'permission' for our practices in child rearing and education.
Through maintaining private funding and responsibility in our educational endeavors, we and our children practice our liberty to learn as we see fit, free from the regulations encumbering tax funded educational institutions in both academics and extracurriculars.
THEFA seeks to facilitate the furtherance of privately funded education and child rearing by the following:
* Practicing Liberty in Learning for ourselves and our families.
* Facilitating private resource networks for both academic and extracurricular resources.
* Sharing intellectual resources to assist one another in exercising our ability to live and Learn in Liberty.
* Welcoming free and open association with like-minded others.
